Best way to spend $1000 on used bookshelf speakers?

There is so much experience and wisdom in this forum, so I thought I would ask for some advice. Based on what you know now, if you had a budget of $1,000 (give or take) and were looking for the best bookshelf speakers you could afford, what would you be looking for?

Kef LS50
Sonus Fabers
Usher 520

I have all 3. All have WAF. Decent resell. All small footprints. And sound quality excellent. I prefer the Kef's for vocals, Fabers for Jazz, and the Ushers for rock.

There is a new pair of ELAC "Uni-Fi Reference UBR62's" on the Music Room website (TMRAudio.com). They normally list for $1200; and, they are one of the rare 3 way bookshelf speakers out there. Plus, the Uni-Fi series typically get very good reviews. Good luck in your search.
